Khartoum’s Conditional Peace Offer and the Egyptian Shadow over Ethiopia-Sudan Relations.
Khartoum’s Conditional Peace Offer and the Egyptian Shadow over Ethiopia-Sudan Relations Sudan’s Foreign Minister, Mohi-Eddin Salem, told French Special Envoy Jean-Marie Safa in Khartoum on 13 October that Sudan is open to dialogue with Ethiopia, provided Addis Ababa ceases its support for the Rapid Support Forces and stops undermining Sudan’s security.
The formula joins an invitation and an indictment in one sentence and places the burden of the first move entirely on Ethiopia.
Offered on those terms, the proposal assumes the grievance runs in one direction, while the open record shows two governments holding allegations against each other. Claims from both capitals appear below as allegations unless public reporting corroborates them.
Ethiopia denies supporting the RSF, and the accusations against it rest largely on statements by Sudanese officials.
Addis Ababa said in May 2026 that the Sudanese Armed Forces supplied arms and money to TPLF-linked fighters, facilitating incursions along Ethiopia’s western frontier, and described it as the first time it had publicly accused Sudan’s military government of such cooperation.
The same statement alleged territorial violations and the use of Sudanese territory as a hub for anti-Ethiopian forces.[3] The best documented element of the Ethiopian case concerns Army 70.[1]
